Drop shadow effect

Add a drop shadow under your object's visible on the layer.

Key settings

• Distance and Rotation position the shadow relative to the image: increase the distance to make objects appear higher above the ground, and change the rotation to match the direction of your light source.
• Blur softens the edges of the shadow, while Alpha controls how transparent it is.
• Color lets you tint the shadow (a dark blue often looks more natural than pure black).
• Enable Shadow only to display just the shadow, hiding the object itself. This is handy to render a separate silhouette.
• If a large or far-away shadow gets clipped at the edges of the object, increase the Padding to reserve more space for the effect.
